Hi, thanks for your contribution!
In addition to the inline comments I have left, can you also please rebase your branch and add some tests for the new functionality? I have just pushed some baseline tests for the existing ledger-insert-effective-date to the master branch.

Adding optional arguments before other optional arguments is a breaking change to the Lisp interface; please add these at the end of the arguments list, instead.

There's a lot of duplicated code between this function and ledger-insert-effective-date. Can they be combined? I would think that just looping over the lines in start..end and calling ledger-insert-effective-date (with the correct current-prefix-arg) should be sufficient.

I managed to reduce it a bit, but there's still a decent amount of duplication.
It updates or removes the effective date of all transactions that start in the region (technically, that start on a line in the region), without editing any postings. With my credit card, I use the statement date as the effective date. That means I have a long block of transactions that all have the same effective date. This makes it easy to set them all at once.
Need to keep `date` first for backwards compatibility. Fixes tests.

Tests added. They're not as thorough as I'd like: in particular, I don't know how to test prompting behavior, and when refactoring I briefly introduced a bug that my tests didn't catch. (If I called |
